Marriott International signed a multi-property agreement with Sun Group, Vietnam’s leading integrated destination and resort developer, to bring 10 new hotels and resorts, spanning eight of Marriott’s extraordinary brands and comprising almost 4,500 keys across Phu Quoc and Vung Tau.
This agreement is
set to mark the debut of two brands in Vietnam – W Hotels, the luxury lifestyle
offering, and stylish and playful Moxy Hotels.
These new
properties are scheduled to open between 2027 and 2030, as integral elements of
Sun Group’s game-changing developments.
The 10 new hotels
and resorts are as follows:
The signing
ceremony was attended by key leaders from both companies, including Anthony
Capuano, President and CEO of Marriott International, Rajeev Menon, President
for Asia Pacific Excluding China (APEC), Marriott International, and Dang Minh
Truong, Chaiman of the Board of Directors, from Sun Group.
“Vietnam is one
of the world’s most dynamic markets for travel and tourism, so we are thrilled
to be able to announce these 10 new hotels and resorts in collaboration with
Sun Group,” said Rajeev Menon, President, APEC, Marriott International.
“Marriott’s portfolio in Vietnam has doubled since 2022, as we cater to record
numbers of international travellers and rising demand from domestic guests
seeking world-class accommodation. Our continued collaboration with Sun Group,
one of the country’s most visionary developers with a proven track record of
creating destination-defining projects, reinforces our commitment to the
long-term future of Vietnam – including Phu Quoc, which is rapidly emerging as
one of Asia’s most dynamic tourism destinations, with unsurpassed facilities
for leisure, business and global events.’’
Dang Minh Truong, Chairman of the Board of Directors, Sun Group, shared: “We are thrilled to announce this landmark agreement with Marriott International, as we continue with our mission to transform Vietnam into a global leader for travel, tourism, hospitality and MICE. This agreement represents the strategic alignment of two leading companies to elevate the scale, structure and international positioning of destination development in Vietnam. By integrating global brands into a master-planned ecosystem of entertainment, infrastructure and large-scale venues, we are reinforcing Phu Quoc’s ability to host world-class events and attract travellers from diverse international markets. Phu Quoc’s hosting of APEC 2027 will be an era-defining moment, positioning the island on a global stage and creating lasting benefits for the entire region.”
At Ruby Beach in
southern Phu Quoc, Marriott is slated to launch five new hotels under five
distinct brands – W Hotels, Marriott Hotels, Westin Hotels & Resorts, Le
Méridien, and Courtyard by Marriott within an 88.4-hectare mixed-use
development which is being developed by Sun Group for APEC 2027. A short cable
car ride away in the island paradise of Hon Thom – Moxy Hotels and Fairfield by
Marriott will command a prime beachside setting.
Phu Quoc,
Vietnam's "Pearl Island,” has emerged as one of Asia’s most compelling
tourism destinations with many world-class attractions developed by Sun Group.
Marriott’s portfolio of hotels are set to serve as hospitality anchors within a
synchronised destination mode with direct access to iconic assets such as the
world’s longest three-wire cable car to Hon Thom Island, large-scale theme and
water parks, internationally acclaimed multimedia shows, the Kiss Bridge and
Sunset Town — where fireworks illuminate the sky every night, 365 days a year.
The addition of
these seven new hotels and resorts, seamlessly woven into Sun Group's
prestigious projects, is expected to enhance the destination’s status as an
international hub for tourism, hospitality, leisure and MICE. The recent launch
of Sun Group’s Sun Phu Quoc Airways has also added to the island’s
international connectivity.
On Vietnam’s
southeast coast, just a short drive from Ho Chi Minh City, the impressive new
Vung Tau Blanca City development is planned to showcase three all-new
properties under the Marriott Hotels, Moxy Hotels, and Four Points by Sheraton
brands. With fast accessibility from the newly opened Long Thanh International
Airport, this is set to become a prime beachfront destination for domestic and
international travellers alike.
These 10 new
properties will complement Marriott’s existing portfolio of 32 properties
currently operating across Vietnam, spanning 11 of the group’s extraordinary
brands, with more than 50 properties in the development pipeline. -TradeArabia News Service
